How to use wikipedia during black-out day

I’m so disappointed in how wikipedia went about their so called ‘black-out day’ to protest against SOPA. Instead of a server side redirect, they used client side?

Turn Javascript off. In Chrome, you can browse to this settings page: chrome://settings/contentExceptions#javascript and enter http://en.wikipedia.org/ as one of the Hostname Pattern and set it to Block. Remove this tomorrow.

Use cached versions from google. Most of you will find wikipedia articles from google. Click cached and you will have access to that data.
